What a funny, tense, dramatic, and realizational ride. [+78%]

I expected a low-brow comedy on what it means to be a paramedic in 2025 USA, but Code 3 blew it out of the park for me. It not only brings in the laughs, but also effective social commentary, tense dramatic moments, and the unsparing emotions in between. Rainn Wilson (as Randy) is an absolute riot here, and superbly supported by Lil Rel Howery and Aimee Carrero. Yvette Nicole Brown and Rob Riggle also put in good performances. Randy breaks the fourth wall early on and speaks to the audience about the dire state of work for paramedics and their constant battle to save lives (..sometimes at least until patients make it to the hospital). The writing cleverly strikes a balance between situational hilarity and moments of shock that most of us won't see coming. The burnout does feel intense, plus the sorry state of health (both mental and physical) is alarming.. even when we, as viewers, barely witness 24 hours in the lives of our leads.Earlier this year, I watched Late Shift, a German drama about a dedicated nurse slowly experiencing a breakdown over the course of a single evening. Code 3 is the weirder, funnier American cousin to Late Night, one can say. Both films are gonna stay with me longer than I'd initially anticipated, and I get the feeling that the common denominators here include solid writing, direction, and lead performances. It also explicitly paints the American picture of pay disparity in the healthcare field, making even a couple of breakfast muffins not worth missing out on. The closing bits, while predictable, are heartfelt. Maybe, for these folks, humour is just passing relief.

Rainn's best to date

I was a little hesitant to watch this, as Rainn Wilson has been in some rather odd and uninspired movies, with more misses than hits.I'm glad to report this is probably his best work yet. He plays a paramedic, expressing his life both in his role and wall breaking monologues.I'd be hesitant classifying it as a comedy, though. There are maybe a couple chuckle moments, but it's mostly a drama, leaving you frustrated with the state of the system at times. Even so, it's an important message to spread, and I was ultimately glad to have watched.
